Chapter 7: Tai Chi Sword Frame, Mutated Crystal Nucleus
Private Necromantic Notes:
Suspect No. 1: Derek Village Chief Dilanke.
The girl, Wendy, had apparently died from a gunshot and had a bullet in her head, but DiRanke said that Wendy had died in an accident.
The sledgehammer wound was apparently used to disguise the real fatal wound, so Wendy became so angry after her death that she turned into a zombie.
Although he disguised it well, judging from his body shape and footsteps and some instinctive reactions, it was obvious that Dillanke was a professional in the past, and there was still some remnants of his unruly smell.
Suspect No. 2: Emo, the daughter of village chief Dilanke.
In this era, it is rare to see a girl in her twenties who is not married, not to mention that Emo is still a woman who seems to be very good in appearance and temperament, and she is the daughter of the village chief...... She is said to have had a lover at one time, but that man has since disappeared.
Amore is clearly consciously helping Dillank cover something, but of course, it may be the other way around, that Dillank is covering up something for his daughter.
A woman who initiates madness is likely to do whatever it takes.
At night, in the shade of the trees, with the moonlight overhead, Shi Yinghu wrote down his notes with a pen.
Although normally speaking, the suspect should be able to avoid the patrolman, and there is no reason to bring the patrolman back to his home, but it is not excluded that some people with particularly strong psychological quality and even distorted and perverted like to put their prey under their own webs.
After the recording was completed, Shi Yinghu thought about it again, and then he wrapped the blanket on his body and leaned against a tree and fell asleep.
Now, it is the ninth day of his arrival in this world, and it is also the eighth day of his patrol mission, the Kampard Forest (investigated), the deserted cemetery (investigated), Derek's village (doubtful), the wailing pit (not investigated), the lost cathedral (not investigated), eight days, the patrol mission of the ancient snake castle has been carried out more than halfway, on the one hand, Shi Yinghu is focused and efficient, on the other hand, the Kampard Forest is guarded by conscientious forest rangers, and the task intensity of the abandoned cemetery is not high.
In fact, there is not much time wasted on carrying out tasks to check, and most of the time is consumed on the road.
The sky is dark, not yet completely bright.
Shi Yinghu, who was sleeping soundly with a blanket wrapped in a blanket under the bushes, was woken up by a burst of firelight. When he opened his eyes, he saw a fire in the distance.
(Wildfires? no, with the humidity of the air here...... Someone set the fire to it!?) stood up, didn't even care about the bonfire and the small pot, reached out and picked up the double sword skin bag that was placed aside, Shi Yinghu took it on his back and ran in that direction.
While running, Shi Yinghu consciously used Taoist mudras to invigorate his own qi and blood, he was very self-aware, and he knew very well that most of his current combat power relied on the martial arts and swordsmanship of the original body.
Although Shi Yinghu originally practiced swords, in this realm below the legend, there was nothing wrong with him calling himself a swordsmanship master.
Shi Yinghu's strain speed and body speed were already very fast, but when he ran to the burning house, most of the entire house had been burned, and it was obvious that someone had set it on fire, because the fire sources were different, and they were burned from several places.
"......" Looking at the corpse of the woman who died on the ground, Shi Yinghu frowned slightly, and the next moment he rushed into the fire to search for anyone who was still alive.
"Can anyone hear me?" Smoke billowed out, but fortunately, Shi Yinghu's mood was stable, and the oxygen consumption was not large, and the chemical content of building materials in this era was still very low, so the toxicity of poisonous smoke was not so great.
Running in the burning room, even stepping on the wall, narrowly avoiding a burning falling object, Shi Yinghu jumped directly onto the second floor of the house.
"Can anyone hear me?" he shouted again as he searched.
It was probably in the bedroom, in the burning room, Shi Yinghu saw a child lying on the bed, his eyes lit up, and he ran over, only to see that the child's chest was already gushing with blood, as if it had been torn apart by some large beast.
Shi Yinghu has experienced too many fights, and as soon as he saw this kind of injury, he knew that it was hopeless, not to mention a child, even if it was an adult, such a bleeding amount was hopeless. However, the child was not dead in one breath.
"Brother, wolf...... Wolves!"
"What, child, what are you talking about?" because of the child's whisper, Shi Yinghu couldn't help but get closer and wanted to listen, but as the distance approached, through the little boy's dimming eyes, Shi Yinghu saw a faint shadow behind him.
"Whew!"
There was a sudden evil wind behind him, because of the difference in strength and speed between the two sides, it was too late for Shi Yinghu to dodge at this time, and at this time, even if he barely dodged sideways, he would be injured.
Therefore, the young man, who was wearing a shabby robe with two swords on his back, suddenly slammed his legs backwards, and at the same time held the hilt of the sword in his right hand and moved the scabbard horizontally.
"Boom!"
As the scabbard moved sideways, the attacker's claws slammed into the scabbard, sending sparks to the blast.
Shi Yinghu's body is weak, his strength is far inferior to his opponent, although he successfully prevented the sneak attack, but the whole person's body was pounced and couldn't help leaning forward, however, it was with this strength that Shi Yinghu took advantage of the situation to distance himself from the opponent and suddenly drew his sword and slashed reflexively.
Because of the coordination of wrists, elbows, shoulders and waists, and the force of the sudden turn, the sword light was swift and powerful, especially the extremely precise cover of the sneak attacker's head.
At this moment, Shi Yinghu saw clearly what was attacking him, it was a werewolf!
It is about one meter nine tall, almost two meters, its body is huge, its claws are crimson, and its eyes are full of bestiality and irrepressible killing intent.
Under the deterrence of Shi Yinghu's reflexive sword slashing sword light, the gray-haired werewolf took two steps back, and then it suddenly roared angrily and pounced forward again.
In its roar, there was a red light pattern invisible to the naked eye, Shi Yinghu was irradiated, and his movements could not be controlled for a moment, but it was only a slight pause, he was not frightened and stiffened, but still extremely smooth with his left hand to pull out the steel sword he was carrying, his left hand and right hand were holding steel and silver double swords, and his feet stepped vertically towards the wall next to the bed.
The two sword lights formed a gorgeous silver-white huge sword flower in an instant, and the gray-haired werewolf with a roar as a cover waved his claws like crazy in front of the double sword sword dance that was not strong in strength or fast speed, however, it just couldn't attack it, and even was constantly borrowed to fight with force, cutting out dots of sword marks and blood.
Shi Yinghu has not cultivated the Supreme Taiji Sword, but his Supreme Taiji Fist has reached the peak of his cultivation, and the principle of Taiji has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and he can even perform the Supreme Taiji Sword Technique, not to mention that he is now performing a low-realm and low-configuration version of the Taiji Sword Technique.
At the moment when the gray-haired werewolf ignored it and pounced madly, Shi Yinghu borrowed enough strength to twist his waist and move sideways, and jumped to the side of the room from the posture of standing on the wooden wall and dancing with a sword.
At the moment when the two sides staggered, Shi Yinghu even had the strength to slash the gray-haired werewolf's sword in mid-air, hitting the werewolf's left eye.
The gap between the martial arts techniques of the two sides is too big, even far more than the gap in force sensitivity, if Shi Yinghu has more than half of his strength, the moment the two sides fight, this gray-haired werewolf will be directly beheaded. Of course, it's not far from right now.
Jumped to the side of the room, next to the window, at this time, even if Shi Yinghu was good at adjusting his breathing, the air in his lungs was almost consumed, he jumped behind him without hesitation, and the whole person jumped out of the second floor of the burning wooden house.
"Ahem...... Cough. β
When Shi Yinghu was coughing violently downstairs with his double swords, there was a bang, and he saw the huge gray-haired werewolf grabbing the dead boy's body, smashing the wooden house and jumping directly into the distance, and quickly disappeared into the mountain forest.
"What is this?Inheritor of wolf blood?Demon worshipper?Fallen Druid professional?Ahem......" came to the side of the well, pulled a bucket of water, and after sniffing and making sure that there was no smell, Shi Yinghu first put his head and face into it to wash his mouth, and then he filled his water bladder with water, and then Shi Yinghu didn't even clean up his own things, and he didn't collect the belongings in the burning wooden house, and quickly chased after the trace of the werewolf.
This world is constantly being invaded by the demons/demons of the lower plane world, so there is death everywhere, killing everywhere, and resentful spirits full of hatred everywhere!
However, if you don't see it, it's fine, since you have seen it, let yourself meet ...... Then with my hand, I will kill them all, eliminate evil when I encounter evil, and punish demons when I encounter demons!
.........
After being hunted down, it took two days and two nights.
Even if it is a werewolf, it needs to rest, it also needs to breathe, and it also needs to find food, water, food and drink, but the neuropathy behind it does not seem to need the same, and it is culled every time the werewolf eats or drinks.
Moreover, Shi Yinghu, who was not attacked by someone, but who attacked others, was even more terrifying, he either jumped down from the bushes when the werewolf devoured the flesh and blood of the elk, or jumped out of the stream when the werewolf was drinking water by the stream.
The damage amplification curse is not a direct damage, but it can weaken the victim's defense by nearly half, and increase the attacker's attack power by nearly double, plus Shi Yinghu's sword moves are directly aimed at the point, after being attacked twice by this guy, if the gray-haired werewolf is not strong and has excellent recovery power, he will not be able to escape now.
However, what surprised Shi Yinghu was that this guy did not eat the little boy's body as he expected, even if he was seriously injured, he had to take the little boy who was already dead, which made Shi Yinghu a little surprised.
Wailing Pit, this is the fourth mission reconnaissance point, even Shi Yinghu didn't expect that after two days and two nights of pursuit, he would actually chase here.
Surrounded by steep rocks, beneath the bare mountain wall, a dark cave was silent, as if a giant monster was opening its bloody mouth.
Faintly, there is something mysterious and terrifying.
(I'm not actually fit to go in at my current state, but the werewolf's injury is definitely much worse than mine!)
(I'm just physically exerted, and I didn't eat, drink, and rest enough for two days, and my condition dropped by two percent, but I was deeply stabbed with several sword wounds on its body, and I definitely can't escape.) Thinking so, Shi Yinghu walked into the wailing pit with his twin swords in hand.
In the vicinity of the village of Derek, a small copper mine was once discovered.
At that time, the village of Derek had just developed, and although the vein was not large, it was also a large amount of development funds, so many miners appeared near the village of Derek.
They live and eat here, and earn relatively good salaries by working day and night.
At that time, the faith was still very pure, so the miners raised money to build a rather magnificent church, and at its peak there were even temple priests who held formal religious ceremonies here.
But no matter how pure the faith, it is difficult to defeat the objective law of economic development, as time goes by, the veins gradually dry up, the miners have no money, the priest of the temple withdraws, as the copper mine is less and less, the miners are less and less, and finally there is a mining disaster here, the mine collapses, and a lot of miners are trapped and die in the pit, the spirit of resentment lingers, and there is a faint sound of wailing.
This is the origin of the two detection sites, "The Wailing Pit" and "The Lost Cathedral".
In front of him, it was pitch black, and even if Shi Yinghu had keen eyes and high vigilance, the area that could be fully observed was extremely limited.
When he came to a corner, Shi Yinghu's ears moved, and he faintly heard the sound of breaking the air, he was extremely alert, and retreated back to the previous corner.
Bang Bang ......
The sound of rain hitting bananas, and in the next moment, dozens of arrow arrows were nailed to the rock wall next to Shi Yinghu.
(This isn't a werewolf, a skeleton archer!?, and a skeletal archer that has amassed a fairly large number.) In the darkest environment, it is most troublesome to face such an opponent.
Because the necromantic creatures do not breathe and do not need to move, but their perception of the living is amazing, that is to say, Shi Yinghu can't see them, but they can see Shi Yinghu, and if they are shot by a dozen bone arrows, Shi Yinghu's current small body is probably hung up directly.
Directly on Geme over, it's game over!
(I learned if I were a skeleton summoner, and at this time send a skeleton out to attract firepower, but for skeleton archers, I'm no different from skeletons.) οΌ
Leaning against the wall, Shi Yinghu took the steel sword back into the sheath, and then drew with his left hand, and after a while, the orange-red magic seal condensed and formed, Shi Yinghu dodged to the distance according to the arrow path, and under the effect of the magic aura of "damage deepening", Shi Yinghu saw the pile of skeleton archers in the corner in the darkness, they did not follow, but still stuck in place, waiting for Shi Yinghu to take the initiative.
Spend patience and time with undead creatures?
As long as you are a person of normal intelligence, you can't do such a thing.
Although the situation is grim, the battle still has to be fought.
The first time the damage was deepened, Shi Yinghu did not pounce, but waited for a while, recited the incantation again, and then suddenly pounced, he covered the magic seal in his hand towards the group of skeleton archers according to the direction in his memory, and this time, almost half of them were covered.
Although the necromantic creatures have patience and time, their minds are not very bright, and the sniper orientation reveals that they have no awareness of changing positions at all.
Shi Yinghu stepped on the gossip step, avoiding left and right, for a calm-minded warrior or demon hunter, the skeleton archer's set shot was the most powerful first, and then it was actually nothing.
Because their attack rhythm is fixed, they don't have the intelligence to change the rhythm of their attacks to make it more difficult for enemies to dodge, and with so many skeleton archers in a group, the number of attacks they can perform is quite limited.
In other words, as long as they get stuck far enough away from their previous position before their next attack rhythm arrives, the skeleton archer will almost certainly miss.
Of course, a large number of skeleton archers, bone arrows shoot one by one, in fact, they still need enough dodge distance and dodge skills, which is not difficult for Shi Yinghu, but it is not easy for others.
In terms of Shi Yinghu's level, the other party's problem was almost seen through the moment of the fight, and he avoided the bone arrow rain with the left and right dodges of his body, of course, the closer he gets, the more difficult it is to dodge.
In the end, Shi Yinghu successfully plunged into the bone rack pile before the damage amplification ended, the silver long sword originally had a restraining effect on demon life and undead life, and now it was stacked on top of the damage deepening, and then on top of Shi Yinghu wielding the silver sword with both hands, and the skeleton archers whose defense was very brittle were like wheat when the two sides were close.
However, this is much more cost-effective than killing wolves, and the moment Shi Yinghu pounced on the pile of bones, the "barrage" in front of him did not stop.
"Kill the Skeleton Archer and gain 7.6 experience. β
"Kill the Skeleton Archer and gain 9.8 experience. β
"Kill the Skeleton Archer and gain 8.5 experience. β
Constantly switch angles and control the pace of your attacks, as if you were peeling back layers of skin, slashing down the piles of skeleton archers one by one.
When Shi Yinghu cut down the last skeleton archer in front of him with the silver sword in his hand, he faintly felt the power of the system in his body fluctuate, and then, in the perspective that only Shi Yinghu could see, the system section jumped out by itself:
Hunter System Panel 1:
Name: Shi Yinghu
Class: Necromantic Apprentice
Grade: Level 2
Strength: 15, muscular tissue strength, the strength that the individual possesses
Agility: 20, physical flexibility, comprehensive perception composite attributes
Vitality: 12, vitality of life, when below 6 points, it is possible to die at any time
Energy: 25, increases mana and mana regeneration speed
Unassigned Skill Points: 1
No free attribute points assigned: 5
Spell Slot: Damage amplification
"Huhu ......" cut down the last skeleton archer, and Shi Yinghu was sweating and panting as he looked at his panel.
The strength and agility attributes have each increased a little, and the other attributes have not changed yet, Shi Yinghu's level is low, the attributes are low, and the realm is too high, so this early improvement is very fast, killing monsters, and the system career level is also very fast.
Of course, if the system is given to an ordinary person, it will not be able to improve so quickly, but it is quite likely to die quickly.
Obtained five free attribute points and one skill point again, this time Shi Yinghu did not hesitate, and directly pointed the five free attribute points on the vitality attribute, and pointed a little skill point on the necromancer's basic skeleton revival spell bit.
In the eyes of the creatures of the lower plane and the undead monsters of the original plane, the revived skeleton warrior is the same as Shi Yinghu, and can share many attacks, so the spell of skeleton resurrection has both offense and defense for Shi Yinghu.
As a little skill point was consumed and converted into spiritual power, Shi Yinghu pressed his eyebrows with his left hand, concentrating, recalling the necromancy knowledge in Kate Brian's memory, and recalling the part about "skeleton resurrection".
(Spells, tricks, spell models, mana directions...... Construction of self-absorption system of energy. A bright blue color centered on Shi Yinghu's forehead and eyebrows, spreading out to his body in waves.
"Revive and fight for me, warrior who is not willing to die!" With a whisper, Shi Yinghu inserted the silver sword in his right hand into the ground, and the void mark in his right hand was slashed, and then he covered the skeleton shelf on the ground.
With the infusion of necromantic magic, the bones of the skeleton archers on the ground flew into the sky, and a moment later they formed a skeleton warrior holding a bone shield sword in both hands.
.........
"Because of the abundance of substrates, the quality is quite good?!"
"Go No. 1 and fight for me!" patting the bald head of the yellow-and-white skeleton warrior in front of him, Shi Yinghu nodded with satisfaction, and then sent him out.
With Skeleton No. 1 Warrior as cannon fodder death squad, Shi Yinghu's process of leveling the entire Wailing Pit was much faster and easier, normally speaking, there should not be such a huge number of monsters and undead creatures entrenched in the area covered by the power of the Ancient Snake Castle.
However, if there is a demon worshipper in an area, a person who makes a deal with the devil, then it is reasonable for this kind of thing to happen, because although the abilities of demon worshippers and fallen people are strange, the ability to summon and control low-level creatures in the lower plane is universal, not to mention the death places where a large number of people have died in vain in the past, such as the Wailing Mine, which is more suitable for the summoning of demons in the lower plane.
If it's in a paladin colony, mage colony, or something like that, a dead place like this will often be purified, but in a necromancer colony...... Even if there is an ancient snake castle, it will not be used here at all, and it will never be wasted, even if it has been over the years, isn't it good to passively cultivate a powerful resentful soul?
Only this time, it was used by demon worshippers first.
"Whew!"
In the dark corner, a half-humanoid monster with horns suddenly pounced, spewing blue lightning balls from its mouth, and at the same time, its muscular and muscular arms were hugging its opponent directly. It's a pity that the target it chose was Skeleton Warrior One.
Skeleton Warrior No. 1 didn't have the panic of being attacked at all, it straightened up its shield, although the dark blue lightning ball made it tremble, but Skeleton Warrior No. 1 was not broken, and the next moment, the low-level demon of the lower plane was slashed out by Shi Yinghu's sword.
Because the effect of slashing these demons and undead creatures with a pure steel sword is very bad, therefore, at this time, Shi Yinghu has already withdrawn the steel sword, and he holds the silver long sword in both hands, controlling the rhythm of the attack and constantly attacking the opponent.
Through Kate Brian's relevant memories, Shi Yinghu recognized that the monster in front of him was called a crippled monster, and the lightning ball it spit out had a fairly strong paralyzing effect, and once a low-level professional was accidentally hit, it would immediately look like a cripple.
However, this lightning ball crippled monster can't be spewed out frequently, so after the lightning ball is borne by the skeleton warrior No. 1 who is immune to the paralysis effect, although it is a low-level demon creature, the combat power of the crippled monster is really close to being crippled, although the arms are dancing whirring, but no matter how strong the strength is, it is useless to hit the attack of people.
(Die, and I will soon send your master down to accompany you.) With his footwork, he walked from the cripple's side to the back of the cripple, and in the cripple's vision, the human swordsman had just disappeared out of space, and when it was frightened, Shi Yinghu swept behind it and cut off its huge bull head.
Just as he was about to leave, Shi Yinghu found that under the source energy perspective of the hunter system, the abdomen of the crippled monster diffused a faint light.
Although he was in a hurry to hunt down the werewolf, he was still curious, and Shi Yinghu used his silver sword to cut open the cripple's abdomen, and then took out something with a shimmer of light, which was a red stone: a broken ruby.
Shattered rubies
Value: 250 gold
Although it is only a very common mineral in the lower plane, it is a scarce thing in the main material world, because in this world, many alchemy and magic spells require the consumption of various gems.
In particular, Kate Brian not only wanted to replace the spell slot of the Clay Stone Demon with the spell slot of the Three-Headed Hellhound, but he also wanted to create a more powerful mutated Three-Headed Hellhound, so he not only learned a lot of knowledge in this area, but also worked hard to prepare a broken emerald.
Broken emeralds in alchemy, can be enchanted for weapons on the extremely high toxin damage, Kate Brian, the madman actually delusionally wants to integrate the three broken emeralds into the summoning ritual, once successful, the three-headed hell he summoned will be superimposed with the toxin damage of three "shattered emeralds", coupled with the biological characteristics of the three-headed hell attack X3, the three-headed hell dog that Kate Brian finally completed is likely to be ridiculously powerful.
Not to mention the human professionals who are good at avoiding reality and attacking the enemy's weaknesses, if they are just facing low-level monsters with low IQ, the power of the poisonous three-headed hellhound, combined with the power of the necromancer master behind him, is likely to be enough to match the third-order monsters.
However, Kate Bryan was a bit too ambitious, if he was a rich man, a noble son who studied necromancy, he was an orphan-born necromancer, who deducted a broken emerald from his ration for ten years, and finally died of malnutrition and overwork before the research results were fully completed.
If Kate Bryan can survive all the time, he will probably be a high-achieving necromancer in the future, but unfortunately he is too extreme, and no one tells him to work hard without a background, and even more so to protect his health. Because it is destined to be a long and protracted war.
After killing a demon of the lower plane who was not very strong, he reaped the benefits of ordinary workers who worked hard for five years without eating or drinking, Shi Yinghu shook his head, and sighed that the demon hunter was really a lucrative industry, and then put away the ruby and continued to hunt down the werewolf.
Under Shi Yinghu's frantic pursuit, the gray werewolf couldn't escape from the wailing pit at all, or rather, this guy found it himself, when Shi Yinghu looked for the traces and finally caught this guy, the little boy's body was only a little blood foam.
Correspondingly, the gray giant wolf, which originally had some clear meaning, completely went berserk at this moment, and its body expanded twice, this time directly to more than two meters high, and the wolf's head almost reached the top of the mine.
However, although this time the gray werewolf's speed and strength had increased a lot, Shi Yinghu felt that it was better than the last time.
Because last time it was obviously still somewhat rational, and this time it was facing a pure demonic beast.
Despite the action of the wind, despite the ferocious power of the claws.
But it was obviously not clear what was the difference between Shi Yinghu and Skeleton Warrior No. 1, Shi Yinghu first covered a damage that deepened the curse, and after a spell aura appeared on the werewolf's head, Skeleton Warrior No. 1 just pounced on it, and then was caught by one of its claws.
But the necromantic summon didn't know the fear and continued to go up, while Shi Yinghu held the sword with one hand and continued to hide in the blind corner of the perspective and in the shadows, which caused the gray giant wolf to chase the skeleton warrior No. 1 with an obvious target, and Shi Yinghu was crazy on the side of the two of them.
Skeleton Warrior No. 1 was quickly torn apart in this case, but along the way, a large number of corpses were accumulated in the Wailing Mine, and the magic consumption of summoning a skeleton warrior was not high, the No. 1 skeleton warrior fell, and the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 skeleton warriors stood up, especially Shi Yinghu continued to look for opportunities to attack the werewolf's arms and elbows, the roots of both legs, reducing the attack power and movement speed, when Shi Yinghu's magic power was broken with one skeleton after another, and when it was almost consumed, the gray-haired werewolf was already scarred, and during the battle, the pressure it brought to Shi Yinghu was not even as good as the last sneak attackγ
Finding the right opportunity, he suddenly dodged and stabbed the silver sword in his hand into the mouth of the gray-haired wolf, and when the blood-stained silver sword blade was pulled out again, the magic power around the two-meter-tall giant beast collapsed.
In Shi Yinghu's somewhat surprised gaze, with a burst of black-red light particles spreading, the giant wolf returned to a young man, blood gushed from his mouth, the back of his neck was pierced, he looked at Shi Yinghu, and then fell backwards and smashed to the ground.
β...... Thank you...... Help me get rid of ......" was a little muddy, accompanied by blood foam and coughing.
At the moment when the young man died, in Shi Yinghu's source energy perspective, the young man's soul flame flew up, and then, pounced on the ring he wore on his right hand, and at the same time, Shi Yinghu received a system task prompt:
Trigger Special Mission: The Truth!
Find the truth about the extermination of the Piston family, the mission is completed, the resentful spirit is gone, and the blue ring is unsealed.
Blue Ring (Sealing)
Treasure Magic Ring
Strength +5
Other properties are sealed
Note: Young people are not willing to be ordinary desires, and want to revive the obsession of the family, what is wrong? Blood covers up all the evils, but there will eventually be unwilling souls, willing to do whatever it takes to take revenge on the enemy!
